State police are investigating the shooting. Township police said Garipoli was given some days off to settle himself.

Township police said they received a call at 8:15 p.m. about a person brandishing two handguns while walking along Friedensburg Road. Police from Lower Alsace, Mount Penn and Exeter Township were dispatched to the scene.

When they arrived, Adamski fired at least two shots and was aiming at police when Garipoli fired back, according to Lower Alsace police.
